The idea of the mechanic itself sounds interesting. But despair? That sounds way too unrealistic to me.

@Poryg - I think they were just using that as a generic example.

Nice idea. And maybe you can fight him wherever you want, but depending your actions with the people, he is stronger or weaker.

Alright! I love Simba!

That makes you way cooler than a lot of people. Thanks for being considerate.

Completely enjoyed it. Excellent story. Spoiler: go to the restroom BEFORE seeing the movie though. LOL

I really enjoyed it too.

You never want to point out someone's faults to them while they are upset. That will only add fuel to the fire so to speak. Instead, you should try to empathize and possibly offer help if you're able to. The priority should always be safety though.

My mother always says "Calm down. Then we can talk about it."

Perhaps, "I hear what you're saying and I want to help, but I need you to take a few deep breaths first."

I'm not a big shooter fan myself, but I have members of the household that are really excited. They're also looking forward to Rebel Galaxy 2

@Mrs_Allykat I'm also looking forward to Rebel Galaxy 2.

I'm more hyped for System Shock 3.

Also, Flu is hard to vaccinate against as it mutates fast. The best they can do is immunize you against the latest strains, which helps but isn't perfect.

Ugh, yeah it does - feel better soon Fuzzy!

Yes. Yes, it does.

It really makes you feel like Spiderman.

I played the first half of the game non stop up until I unlocked the challenges it's still amazing though, pun intended.

the first original spider game since n64 i believe

Coconut and advocado i knew, grapeseed i did not. Learned something new today

Olive is good, also like canola or straight up clarified butter. Sunflower oil is my personal favorite.

I usually use ghee, was cooking at my parents house and couldn't find the vegetable oil though.

Its definitely padding. Especially since if you weren't hit by the bug then you probably would have hit it before you got to it anyway, making it pointless.

Like I said though, its rough, its buggy, but the gameplay is so good it doesn't really matter much.

Though, I do think that actually one of the reasons that the requirements exist is that it makes people actually engage with freeplay. Freeplay is a lot of content in the game, with the world events and such going on, and the only way you wouldn't have hit all the requirements is if you were just rushing missions.

I think they should have done it more organically though. Like had stuff that made sense to do in freeplay rather than just random stuff.

Weird, I'll check into it. What virus protection is giving you warnings?

It's for my phone, mainly. I put the topic under website suggestions awhile ago.

It's well written and a good article. When I think of bosses I always try to make it so they're incredibly smart and difficuly, but in the long run. there is a strategy of some sort that wins. That is how you design a good monster the player will enjoy.

Sounds like a perfect super villain in a comedy super hero game.

Oh my the fun you would had starting with that as handle on the internet ir starting a gaming company. XD

And Happy Napalm free Year! As in the real thingy XD

Frankly, BotW isn't the only game whose fans deserve to be told how mediocre it really is.

Yeah, you see, That's the attitude people start taking towards games once the freshness wears off. It doesn't deserve it though, as It's still fun to play.

I'm playing Horizon right now and while it feels kind of generic, it is super fun to play and the world is much better filled than the one on BoTW.

Congratz to your kid and... awww times fly so fast. He is one year older than DC. (except her she is... err to be converted in kitty years)

@Shaz I have two kids, 17, and 12. Younger one turns 13 in July.

Meaning next year if you are in Canada one will have his first beer officially *flees* XD

It's not that bad, just really salty.

"As long as you don't try to entice us with vegemite..."

What? ... Vegemite is delicious! You just eat it wrong.

I AM ON A DIET!

Ah, that definitely does NOT sound like every JRPG ever. That's an interesting idea! The whole ancient-evil-thing-seeking-to-destroy-the-planet-just-because-it-can thing has been really played out...

:3 Seems pretty actual and accurate

It seems you got a great idea. The after makes people and the player, the only potential source of evil. This idea has the power to make me feel like how I was feeling finishing Bioshock Infinite...

Honestly, ff7 was the same, move forward. The Golden Saucer didn't even open up until a ways in the game (disc 2 or very late disc 1, can't recall which).

Maybe though that is one of the reasons I didn't mind FFXIII that much, as I never considered FF games those with a lot to do or side stuff, but instead play for the story and mechanics.

Of course, sometimes they got the mechanics wrong *cough* ff8 *cough*, but I still like 8 as the story on discs 1 and 2 made up for it in my opinion.

Of course, I'll admit on disc 3 of ff8 I feel like they took any idea they had and threw them in a blender and hit blend, but that's another debate.

Or any MMO ever. "learn the meta and conform or suck forever"

Sometimes simpler really is better.

"Do make such systems" ~ Gotcha

Have fun! Relax! Do what you need to do! De-stressify. =^_^= Hasta la vista for now!

enjoy your time off

Have a good one.

That's something they got right in Mankind Divided. There was only one boss (Marchenko) who could be defeated by simply throwing an EMP grenade his way and then performing a takedown. Still hoping there will be a new Deus Ex game at some point; perhaps even a remake of the original.

I need to give Mankind Divided another chance. For some reason I just couldn't get into it compared to HR.

I didn't enjoy exploring as much as I did in HR. The setting, Prague, just didn't feel very cyberpunky. I also didn't like the whole oppression theme. It tried so hard to make you sympathise with the augmented, but there's a perfectly good reason why they're now feared and shunned. Some of the side missions are good, though.
